Daniel is a certified computer and cellphone forensics examiner and licensed private detective with over 20 years’ experience working in the Information Technology field.

Working with both computer/cellphone forensics and cell record/tower analysis, he has provided clients the information to support or challenge the validity of evidence. Most critically, his work has been instrumental in recovering data from inoperable devices and further identifying data that was never identified in prior examinations, which resulted in positive outcomes for his clients.

Daniel also speaks at conferences and for the Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education system on topics such as cellphone forensics and how to properly establish a repeatable and defensible eDiscovery program.
